Artist: The Bringers
Album:
Ramblers And RoversYear produced: 2002
Right from the start you can tell this is going to be a special CD. The first track on the album lays the groundwork and gives a taste of what The Bringers are all about. Sweet Celtic music peals forth - but there's more...
The sounds of the didgeridoo are here on the CD as well, and the arrangements really do a nice job of blending World and Celtic sounds for a unique and exciting album. Australian is not the only other influence you'll hear either; listen for Slavic and tribal underpinnings as well. It's a smart mix that works.
Listen for good 'ol jaunty group songs like "Fire Down Below," as well as melodic tracks that really show off the skill of the musicians such as both The Kiss Set and the Corkscrew Set. Somehow the didgeridoo fits very naturally into the mix, probably a factor of its not taking center stage all the time. It rests instead behind the fiddle and other instruments, content to create interest rather than steal the spotlight. Nice.
There's a good range of tunes here, ranging from energetic--The Bringers signature style--to pretty. The "World Celtic" label fits this band well, and you won't be sorry if you give this band a listen.
